    Afghans ante portas: Looking at immigrants in Turkiye through google's peephole

    Keskin, Savaş; Kömür, Gökhan

    Bauman"s approach, conceptualised as "strangers at out door/ante portas", requires a relationship that requires us to look at immigrants from inside the door. This study focuses on how Afghans, who are collectively expected to be hated as the new "dangerous" strangers, appear in Turkiye. The images pro-vided by Google searches become a suffcient "peephole" through which to collectively see and imagine Afghans. This is because the "peephole" metaphor encompasses a symbolic context in which the fear of the "strangers at out door (ante portas)", the desire to see/observe them, and the parallax effect can be symbolically represented at a common root. In the study, by typing "Afghans" and "Afghan Migrants" in Turkish into the Google search bar, the visual (photographic) search results are used to establish relationships with alienation and otherness in the visual representation of Afghan identity.

    A hybrid method for determining the export sector and product for Turkey: Bayesian econometrics and multi-criteria decision analysis

    Ozden, Erdemalp; Yaprakli, Sevda

    Developing economies need to support strategic sectors that will transform their productive structures to ensure development. Therefore, the ability of these strategic sectors to produce exportable products is essential. This study follows a different path to determine strategically important export sector and products for Turkey, one of the countries struggling with the middle-income trap for a while. This different path is a hybrid method by combining the results of Bayesian econometrics with the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, one of the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. As a result, the export sector that should be prioritized is transportation, and export products are cars and vehicle parts. By applying the hybrid method in this study to other countries, strategic sectors and goods can be determined.

    The globalization of the food market, the prevalence of economically motivated adulteration, and the scarcity of high-value food sources have posed significant challenges to ensuring food authenticity in the industry. The assessment of food authenticity has now become a matter of utmost importance, necessitating the adoption of rapid and robust methods. While well-established techniques are available for analysis, many are not always feasible because of the need for high-priced instrumentation and proficient operators, excessive time requirements, and the destructive nature of the methods. However, Raman spectroscopy has been positioned as an attractive technology offering high-speed and nondestructive fingerprinting capabilities to monitor sample characteristics of foods. Improvements in optical technology and portable instruments have allowed field-deployable devices and have made it practical to detect adulteration from production to the market. An extensive literature has demonstrated the convenience and efficacy of these instruments in fulfilling the needs of the food industry. This chapter highlights the recent advancements in research studies focusing on the utilization of Raman spectroscopy for the rapid determination of food adulteration and authentication. These developments showcase the potential of Raman spectroscopy as a valuable tool in addressing the challenges posed by food fraud. The ongoing progress in Raman spectroscopy and its applications in food authenticity assessment represents a significant step forward in combating adulteration and ensuring the integrity of our food supply. Further research and technological advancements in this field will enhance the capabilities of Raman spectroscopy, providing the industry with increasingly reliable, efficient, and practical methods to combat food adulteration and authenticate the foods we consume.

    Marketing of green energy

    Yilmazel, Sefa Emra

    After the 1970s, the issue of green energy started to come to the fore more after the oil crisis (Hartmann and Ibanez, 2012). Thus, consumers were made more conscious about energy consumption, and those who had the opportunity were directed to many types of green energy such as renewable energy sources, solar, thermal, and wind energy (Shi, Wei, and Shahbaz, 2023). Currently, some consumers accept to pay a premium price for green energy. Increasing the number of these consumers will produce important outputs such as protecting nature, preventing the climate crisis, and protecting energy resources in the future (Jabeen, Ahmad, and Zhang, 2021). In this direction, many governments around the world encourage producers of renewable energy and take effective steps. Although it is notsufficient at the moment, it is predicted that much higher amounts of green energy will be produced in the future with the steps taken in this regard (Leijten et al. 2014). Therefore, it will be sufficient not only to increase the amount of green energy production but also to increase the number of consumers directed to green energy. In particular, higher production costs appear to be an important factor that delays consumers' adoption of green energy (Sundt and Rehdanz, 2015; Usova and Velkin, 2018). Apart from price, it is seen that many socioeconomic and psychological variables are effective in consumers'adoption of green energy (Herbes and Ramme, 2014; Xiong, Li, Wang, and Wang, 2020). Among them, there are many elements such as household income, household size, age, attitude, green norms, ecological conservation behavior, and knowledge of renewable energies. Thus, adetailed study is required in order to understand consumers in depth and act in this direction, and raise the awareness of consumers about green energy. Therefore, the aim of this book chapter is to reveal the variables that lead to and prevent consumers from using green energy.

    Erten, Edibe S.; Erten, Tayyibe

    The replacement of gluten is essential for the development of gluten-free foods. To achieve this, variety of flours (such as corn flour, chestnut flour, and buckwheat flour) have been investigated by food scientists. Legume flours seem preferable to other flours among these gluten-alternative sources due to their nutritional quality. In this chapter, recent developments in legume-based gluten-free bakery products were investigated. Due to their high protein content, legumes have numerous applications in the gluten-free food industry. However, undesirable flavor formation limits their widespread usage. For this reason, the effects of replacing gluten-containing ingredients with legumes on the sensory properties and consumer acceptance were discussed as the main focus of this chapter.

    Alkaya, Fatime; Günay, Esra; Turna, Hilal

    Biodiversity loss, soil and water pollution as well as global warming are among the most debated environmental issues worldwide. Conventional farming, which uses chemical pesticides and fertilizers, hormones and genetically modified products to obtain maximum yield per unit of land to feed the rapidly growing world population, is one of the main causes of these problems. As an alternative production system to conventional farming, organic farming has emerged to overcome environmental problems. The effectiveness of organic farming in addressing environmental issues has been debated for many years. In this chapter, the impact of organic foods on the environment is evaluated under the headings of biodiversity, soil and water quality, energy efficiency and climate change. The consensus drawn from studies is that organic farming is a more environmentally friendly production method compared to conventional farming. However, the heterogeneity of studies and environmental factors are influenced by many factors, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

    Microwave Roasting

    Kutlu, Naciye; Pandiselvam, Ravi

    Roasting is a process that involves heat treatment to improve the digestibility, flavor and sensory aspects of foods and to provide the desired structural changes in the food product. In the microwave roasting method, the heat treatment applied to food products uses microwave energy. When this method is applied with the right temperature-time combination, it has many advantages, such as shorter processing time, energy efficiency, preserving the color components and nutritional quality to a large extent, prevention of the formation of acrylamide to a large extent and offering easy process control compared to traditional methods (roasting in pan, sand or oven), and therefore it has come to the fore in recent studies. With appropriate optimization studies, the negative effects of the microwave method will be minimized. Studies are needed to adapt the microwave roasting method on an industrial scale. Designing new devices which can use artificial intelligence for microwave roasting, an innovative and economical method, is among research expectations for the future.

    Phenolic Acids in Pollen

    Kostić, Aleksandar Ž.; Gercek, Yusuf Can; Bayram, Nesrin Ecem

    Determination of phenolic composition of pollen has been one of the most popular topics over the past decade. Although most research studies focused on bee-collected pollen samples, it was also observed that phenolics, in particular, phenolic acids, are very important as protecting compounds in floral pollen grain, attached to sporopollenin. Based on the collected data a pronounced diversity of phenolic acids and derivatives was observed in pollen samples with different botanical/geographical origin. In total, 23 phenolic acids were identified/quantified in the samples with great predominance of the following ones: caffeic acid (0.04–450 μg/g), ferulic acid (0.27–450 μg/g) and p-coumaric acid (0.14–410 μg/g). However, the highest content was observed for vanillic acid (4985.5 μg/g) in the rape bee-collected pollen (China). In addition, several different derivatives, such as ethers, esters or amides, were also identified in pollen.

    Can Bilingual Books Promote Self-Paced Foreign Language Learning: A Qualitative Study

    Dolgunsöz, Emrah; Kimsesiz, F; Atac, BA

    Books that include multiple languages have been published in various languages since the 1980s in the United States, mainly for the Latino population to promote language learning and literacy (Ernst-Slavit and Mulhern, 2023) and recently have started to become popular. Bilingual texts may benefit language learners since embedded translations may help increase grammatical awareness, provide L1 preview, support L1 positive transfer and even promote L1 identity. Considering some advantages of bilingual books, this qualitative study examined if bilingual texts can be a good and cheap option for self-paced language study. 6 EFL learners without Spanish knowledge were asked to study 2 bilingual books (Spanish-Turkish) for 10 weeks. Their progress was tracked through their personal reflections periodically. A semi-structured interview was employed at the end of a 10-week period to scrutinize their recommendations and opinions. The results showed some pros of these texts, such as cost, ease of use and direct translation of sentences. These materials, however, were not without cons. The participants emphasized a lack of quality and visuals, inefficiency when not complemented with a language course, complexity of grammar and verb inflections despite translations and lack of motivation due to daily routines. The participants also reported that adopting an intense study strategy, such as writing and taking notes on grammar and vocabulary, may be very time-consuming and tedious. In conclusion, bilingual books for self-paced study were found to have a number of challenging issues and it was best to use them as supplementary material to any language course.

    Isothiocyanates as drug candidates in cancer prevention and treatment

    Saylan, Demet; Cebeci, Fatma

    Cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide. Many methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. are being used for treatment. Most patients have a combination treatment with chemotherapy along with surgery or radiotherapy or both. Chemotherapy kills cancer cells by preventing them from reproducing, growing, and spreading in the body. Recently, safer alternatives to chemotherapy have been discovered and developed, as most of the drugs used in cancer treatment have side effects and a serious impact on patient comfort. As an alternative, the phytochemicals found in daily consumed plants are attractive candidates for clinical/pre-clinical evaluation because of their higher safety. In this context, certain degradation products of glucosinolates (isothiocyanates) are promising agents for cancer prevention and treatment.
